HYDROMECHANICAL TRANSMISSION Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention can be used in automatic transmissions controlled by electronic unit and hydraulic devices. Proposed hydromechanical transmission contains hydrodynamic torque converter 2 and planetary reduction gear consisting of four planetary trains. All planetary trains have negative inner ratio. Output link of torque converter is coupled with ring gear 7 of first planetary train, with sun gear 8 of second planetary train and, through friction clutch 18, with carrier 12 of third planetary train, and through friction clutch 17, with sun gear 11 of the same train which is connected with case 1 through friction brake 22. Sun gear 5 of first planetary train is coupled with case 1 through friction brake 19. Carrier 6 of this train is coupled with carrier 9 of second planetary train, with ring gears 13 and 16 of third and fourth and fourth planetary trains. Ring gear 10 second planetary train is connected with case 1 through friction brake 20. Sun gear 14 of fourth planetary train is coupled with carrier 12 of third planetary train and, through friction brake 21, with case 1. Carrier 15 of fourth planetary train is output link 4 of transmission.

EFFECT: enlarged mechanical capabilities of transmission owing to provision of ten forward speeds, one reverse speed and enlargement of range up to 6.286 at preservation of overall dimensions.
